My middle-class training from grade school up said that there were certain things you do not do. One was not to pull an alarm unless there was a need.

Now there is an elected official who pulls the lever supposedly to get the door open into the room in Congress.

What was the real reason? Lack of Knowledge, stupidity, youth, an immigrant, language, dark, smoke, or nefarious?

I think the reason was that the subject had the "combo-pack" of intelligence! Just amazing how they try to pass it off on trying to open the door because they think everyone is just stupid and will believe them....
